Jimmy Kimmel OUT At ABC?! Disney Boss Just REFUSED To Commit to Renewing Contract | Letitia James On Cornell Case | The End of France S6E6

I'll tell you, we said Jimmy Kimmel was going to be out. And now there's new evidence today that, yeah, this is coming sooner rather than later. I'm sorry, Jimmy. Game is over. You know, it's really lasted frankly too, too long. It all comes on a day when, well, let's just say some people are getting a little bit nervous over at both CBS and CNN right now because it looks like they might actually be out too. Quite a few of them. You see, that deal, we told you yesterday that it had just been approved by the judge for David Ellison's Skydance Paramount to go in and buy Warner Brothers Discovery. Well, that's actually gone through and so people are freaking out as David just came out and announced that the deal is happening and he's got a new name for the company we're going to get into all of that plus, oh, big dish to the rescue. And by the way, I finally get why they call her big dish. Like, I saw her standing next to Kathy Holkall today and man, like that is big dish. Anyway, she thinks she's coming to the rescue on the Cornell thing. She's about to be utterly humiliated because once again, it's all politics. It's not the law. She has no inkling or care. Like, maybe she has a clue, actually, let me be fair to her. Maybe she's got a clue on the law. Maybe she's just that Machiavellian and she is that out to destroy anyone that she sees as an opportunity. This is a political opportunity. We're going to get into that plus France. Oh, my gosh. Why do you see the pictures coming out of France? France has been conquered, ladies and gentlemen. We knew that, but it's bad. Jimmy Kimmel. He is toast. I'm telling you, this guy is done. You've got the number two executive, the number two executive at Disney right now coming out and at a Bloomberg event saying that she's just not going to answer this question about whether or not Jimmy Kimmel is staying at ABC. And I just have to tell you in television, speak like that is not a good endorsement. That basically tells you everything that you need to know and do not forget. It was the New York Post who about a month ago or so told us this guy is done. This guy is out. Well, now they've got a big headline today, basically saying, huh, you know, what do we, what do we tell you? Disney's number two executive gives telling clue about Jimmy Kimmel's future at ABC. So Dana Walden, she is the president and chief creative officer there at Disney and don't forget Disney is the parent company of ABC, they own ABC news. And ABC is the, I don't know if we call them the producer because I think that he may actually have his own production company, but they are the ones that basically put that show on the air every night. Lucky you coming through your federally owned airwaves right through the tube to you, Jimmy Kimmel's show. Well, on Thursday, there was this Bloomberg conference and Dana was asked whether ABC was going to renew Kimmel's contract and her answer was this. And I quote, I am not going to make that announcement here with you today. Okay. So now before you say, well, Trish, that's nothing. I'm going to tell you again, in television, you do not say something like that. You really, I mean, unless negotiations are going that badly, unless you want them out on the street today, like you just don't say that because the person who controls the creative side of the company is not going to say, you know, I'm not going to, I'm not going to comment on that. They're going to say like, we love Jimmy. We love Jimmy. We want Jimmy to, you know, continue here. They're going to say something nice. They're not going to say something like that. Jimmy signed a one year extension last December and it keeps him behind the desk for a little while, right? We'll see. Maybe through the spring. He reportedly, I don't know if this is true, but he, according to some internet reports, makes $16 million a year. Let me cough again, okay? Because that's $16 million for this guy way too many. They're not getting any numbers. I mean, you look at the numbers. They're doing lousy. I mean, I think that the executives have probably figured out, hey, you know, if we really want to go this route, we could put what's his name, the jelly guy, and instead, or, you know, hey, if we really want to irritate Trump, maybe we just go with Rosie O'Donnell because she's cheaper. So the deals up in spring of this year in May 27, I don't think they're going to renew it. In fact, that is what Page Six in New York Post actually reported about a month ago or so, and they're saying the source is familiar with the situation, have said flatly, nope, he's out. He's out. He's not coming back. And the show is just, you know, going to go away. Now, the show could go somewhere else, right? Maybe Netflix will get it, you know, Netflix, given that it's a, on its last legs. We talked about that yesterday. I mean, it is. That company's just done. I'm sorry, especially in light of the Paramount thing that just happened today, and is about to close next week. Anyway, the, the Walden news, this is, this is a big deal. For her to get on stage and not say something nice about Jimmy, I mean, that's extremely telling. That is industry language for a block on the schedule that no longer pays the way it used to. Okay, because it's just not a moneymaker for the company. I mean, and, you know, given his lack of humor, given his inability to tell a joke, inability actually to see things that are funny on both sides because he's just so possessed with DDS, he can't actually turn a profit for the company anymore. I mean, they're sinking all this money. It was the same thing we had with Stephen Colbert, right? He's like losing all this money. You just can't lose all this money. That's why I keep saying the view is in jeopardy as well because I'm hard pressed to see how that show is actually doing well with advertisers. Yes, it's still pulling a number better than Jimmy. I think it's still pulling a number, but at some point it becomes so toxic that investors, well, investors would tell you that the advertising community is very wary of it. In other words, that's a show that was supposed to be a bunch of women, different age ranges, gathered around a table talking about sort of pop culture, water cooler issues of the day. And they turned it into a political machine. This, on the other hand, was supposed to be a comedic show where you get a comedian telling jokes and doing interviews with different kinds of celebrities. And instead, it has become TDS central. And you have only to look at his comments on Charlie Kirk, for example, to see how upsetting this is to the affiliates that are forced to carry this program. Don't forget, they are forced to carry this program, all right? They don't have a choice because they sign a deal with the Disney big, big, big Disney company that owns ABC, and all of the content that Disney ABC decides to disseminate out to all these affiliates, they're stuck having to take. They can't just preempt it. It's a big deal if they preempt it. They have to pay for the content, and then they're stuck having to air it. And the reason this becomes increasingly a problem for Disney ABC is because of a guy named Brandon Carr, right? Brandon Carr is the new head of the FCC. So Brandon is like, you know, you guys, you need to abide by the rules set forward, the law, a 1934 Communications Act, which means that you're supposed to be there for the good of the community. And when you are turning yourself into a political partisan show, you're no longer there for the good of the community, which means we could actually look at revoking your license. And that's exactly what he's done, right? He's gone to ABC and he's like, hey, hey, you guys have to reapply for these licenses at your biggest affiliates, which just happened to be owned and operated by ABC Disney. And so this is kind of a warning sign, if you would. And if you're Disney, if you're Dana, that you've creative officer over there, you're looking at Jimmy and saying, is he really worth all this? Like we don't have millions of millions of millions of people tuning in to late night anymore. I mean, you know, maybe occasionally he pulls a little bit of a number, but it's not just to find the giant massive bloated salary and it's not just to find, you know, it's not just to find, it's not just to find this trouble that he's causing for them with the FCC. Now, even if you say the Democrats, you know, take the house, we'll see if that happens. In, you know, in November, it still doesn't change the fact that you get bread and car there at the FCC, and do they really want to sit there another two years of this? Do they really want to risk their own knows and those licenses going away, which look, you know, Brandon's not messing around. So I would just say like that, that is a potential issue. What happens to Jimmy Kimmel? I mean, look, Jimmy, you know, there's, there's other places to go. I was joking about Netflix, but I'm thinking MSNBC, MSNOW might have your name on it. I don't know if they're going to pay you 16 million. And although I hear Rachel Matto makes a whole lot of money for just one show a week, so hey, you know, maybe there's a future there for you. And then you can have TDS all you want, and you can tell jokes that aren't really jokes that have some kind of TDS vein to them. And I think, you know, you'll live happily ever after. But you're not going to be able to do that on federally controlled airways and not make a profit and think that that's going to work. You have a new CEO that took over for Bob Iger, Josh something there at Disney now. And Josh comes from the, I think it's Josh tomorrow. He comes from the parks group, and listen, the parks are all about turning a profit, right? You're going to keep the trains literally running on time. The rides have to function, and you have to make money. And so he's now overseeing this entertainment division. He's like looking at the balance sheet going, you got to be kidding me. I'm paying how much for this Joker, and he's just causing me headaches, and we're not making any money here. So I'm sorry. Like, I think that Disney is finally sitting down and doing the math and saying, this is not. Oh, actually, by the way, this is what she said. This is what she said. Dana said, there is, let me make sure I get this right, okay? because I think this is her direct quote, she actually said that is not a lucrative opportunity for a very premium talk show. So that's actually kind of a telling thing to have said. That's not a lucrative opportunity for a talk show. So I think that she's concerned about the lack of advertising dollars that are coming in and the amount of money that if you would is coming out because if you're paying him 16 mil, okay? And you're paying all the staff plenty his wife, family business, all in the family. Either that or his fishin' for the company pond when he found her. I think his ex-wife actually was his custom designer in his last show, so. You know, he doesn't travel far, let's say. Anyways, Jimmy, he's makin' all this money, his wife's makin' all this money, the staff is makin' all this money and they have a much smaller audience than they used to in part just because of the dynamics, right? We've talked about this before that everybody's going to streaming platforms now and they're not tuning into broadcast the way they were and so it just doesn't matter if you're paying that much money out and you're not getting that much of a return and you've got the doubling of the headache because the guy is just driving you crazy with the administration. I just don't see how this continues. She actually said, so I wanna be specific about this. She said in the Bloomberg conference that the views that are generated on streaming apparently only generate a fraction of the revenue that comes from the traditional television market advertising and she's saying that specifically is not a lucrative opportunity for a premium talk show. Okay, she's kinda dissonous over here in streaming land if you would. Okay, Dana, I get it, you know, I guess you need bigger, you need bigger dollars but I'm telling you your business model is just broken, okay? It's broken and so sure maybe you don't get big bucks over on YouTube but you're not gonna be able to make it work for much longer with even your advertisers that you have there, right? They have been scaled down and on top of that if you really wanna reach someone, okay? If you're an advertiser and you really actually want to make sure that you're reaching the proper demographic you're not actually gonna go to ABC. Hate to break it to you, okay? You are actually gonna go and you're gonna look at something like Da-na-da YouTube, all right? Because I've showed you these numbers before this is a massive sort of telltale sign when you look at the most recent numbers for July, 2026 and this came from a Wells Fargo Analyst report where he was just basically saying it's kinda over from Netflix. You can see streaming, go button is the second part of that graphic, streaming is 49% of the content that's out there, people are streaming it and basically YouTube dominates that, okay? 14.2%. Broadcast is 19.5%, cable is 18.7%. So broadcast as a share of who's actually sitting down in the living room every day and watching this stuff has declined to climb to climb. And so Jimmy, if you would, is kind of a victim of that and she's saying they don't make enough money off of streaming to really justify things. So what does that tell you? It tells me, Jimmy Kimmel is done. Finito is the grand finale. The fat lady has sung and he's out of the building. All right, not that I'm too happy about that or anything. I really honestly don't care. I just think it's quite, I do care in that it's quite fitting and telling in that this industry is changing big time in real time and you have no further to look than the Skydance deal that was just announced today. So David Ellison, Larry Ellison Sun, had a grand idea to put all these companies together. We're talking about HBO, we're talking about Skydance owning HBO, CBS, CNN, Nickelodeon, and Paramount. I mean, it's incredible, Warner Brothers. And this is effectively, now I think a real sign of the end of woke media. He put out a tweet today just a short time ago and he was showcasing all the incredible content that they have, which is tremendous. And this is the future, right? So they've got this massive, massive library at Skydance. And they've got news platforms like CBS and CNN, where it believed me, I know this, that the anchors are really frightened right now and they're scared about their future and their jobs. And all of Hollywood is a little bit scared right now because they don't know what to make of this. Let me go to what David said here on X, he said, "What was once the peak is now just the beginning?" And this goes to my point that there is a tremendous opportunity in the future for new avenues and new ways to entertain people. And it's not going to be the traditional, like, let's go to a movie or let's sit down and watch a movie. It's not going to be the traditional news consumption even you see that you would get from a CNN today. It's going to mural, I think, a lot more of what we see on X, where there's much more sort of citizen journalist content available. It's going to be democratized in terms of entertainment. You're most likely going to find a lot more interactive entertainment. And I could go off on this for a while because I actually think that you're going to get to the point where you're almost making movies, maybe even starring yourself, right? The potential for AI and the technology advances is enormous when it comes to the entertainment space. And so that is what Ellison is trying to capitalize on. And what would have happened, I think, if you had had Netflix become the owner of this, which was what was wanted is you would have had a lot more woke content, a lot more like let's basically preach to everyone with our Sunday sermon and how they need to be more accepting of trends and anything else. And that would have been a very stagnant business that would have been just fine by the people in charge, right? Because they had a monopoly on it and they don't want change. But this change is coming. So he writes Paramount and Warren Brothers shaped a century of culture combining them isn't rewriting history. It is a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance, a creative first home for bold quality storytelling. And I think he's just going to allow more people at the table for all of this storytelling. I told you how Netflix is this closed system, right? I can be on YouTube with my podcast and I can be on Spotify. Please make sure you follow me on the Trish Regan show on Spotify. I can be there, I can be on Rumble. I can be on Facebook, I can be on Twitter. And yet, no Netflix, right? Because it's a closed system because they're curating it. And they've got the budget and they want to pick and choose the winners. And I guess they're for losers. But the reality is everybody's just kind of moved on. And now content is kind of available everywhere. And so if you're in this sort of, I'm going to hold it close. And I'm going to charge everybody a monthly fee for this content. That is not a business model that works. Here he is saying both of these companies, Warner Brothers Discovery, have distinct identities, extraordinary legacies and brands that have resonated for generations. We never wanted a new corporate entity to diminish alter or overshadow either one, a name of our own. So Paramount, Warner Brothers, and every brand stay in the spotlight. So this is the new name, Skydance. It takes in Warner Brothers and it takes in Paramount. And in doing so, has just a massive number of properties. He said, we've got big goals. We want to honor what makes Paramount and Warner Brothers special. Grow both studios, tell more stories, reach broader audiences, powered by Skydance. I couldn't be more excited about what we're going to build together. And I've told you before, this is massive. You're getting Harry Potter and Mission Impossible combined together, the Godfather and Looney Toons. I mean, I'm just blown away. A lot of people didn't think he could get this done. And they thought there were way too many obstacles to it. And here we are. It has been officially approved by the judge. He himself has just come out and renamed the company Skydance. And now in about four days' time, it is going to be official with all the paperwork completed and the Skydance ticker up and running and traded completely differently. They did have-- I was reading an article this morning in Bloomberg today, some sort of last-minute stuff going on on the financing. On the financing, apparently there was some drama. I'm not sure if Elon was actually last-minute brought in, but that's the word on the street right now. The Elon Musk is being brought in as one of those financiers in sort of the 11th hour, helping to come up with the billions of dollars that they needed to get this to the finish line. It is, I should point out, really, at the finish line. And it's going to officially be traded as Skydance in just a couple days' time. So there are some losers in all of this. Yeah, there are some most definite losers. The losers in the Paramount deal would be probably Disney to a certain extent, right? Because Disney has kind of fallen behind on some of that technology. Another loser would be CNN. I mean, I don't think ultimately it's a loser. I think CNN needed to figure out a new path for it because, let's face it, it just isn't working. You look at the numbers. You look at the friction with the White House. It just isn't working for CNN. So they needed something different. And this is going to offer a different path. And hopefully, a little bit more diversity in terms of the viewpoints around the table. They are very nervous. They are very scared at CNN right now. They are worried about their jobs and whether or not they're going to have jobs, they're worried. about the infiltration of possibly new technology that might allow for this quote-unquote citizen journalist to infiltrate their ranks. And I've said all along, you know, they're working off a 1980s business model where they had lots of heavy costs with lots of bureaus all over the world. And that business model doesn't work. So one of the things that David wants to do is bring some real cost-cutting strategies to the news model. Well, that might mean that you're going to rely on, again, more citizen journalists as opposed to all of those bureau reporters all over the world. And this is something that makes them very, very, very nervous. Christian Amapur, Brian Steltter, take it away. There's so many questions to ask about the CNN thing, but we'll see how it plays out. We've also -- I don't have any other answers. So, I know. But there's a thing, Christian, like we've been going for 45 years, right? CNN just keeps going. No matter who, no matter what, no matter where, this network just keeps going. I strongly believe that's what's going to happen. Even though we're about to get another new owner. Okay. Interesting. I've been here 43 years, so I've seen it all -- every merger, every buyout, and so far. Yep. We just keep going. Yeah. Well, you know, it's time for some change, 43 years, time for some change. So they're scared over there. Who else is a loser in this deal? I keep saying it's not -- it's Netflix because when I look at Netflix and the strategy it's employed, you know, and, by the way, you don't have to take my word for it. Let's take a look at this Wells Fargo equity research piece. $57 is the price target. I think it's trading around 70 right now, and it's because it's becoming an old media company. In other words, this digital platform is very, very real. Ellison is embracing that with Skydance. And while streaming was the thing on Netflix for a while, the problem is because they were so closed off from everything else and they were kind of creating this, you know, content sort of snobbery, if you would, that hasn't really played out. And so going forward, they have no more opportunity for growth. If you read through this report, the opportunity is only really international for that company right now. Not to mention, who sits down to, like, watch a two-hour movie these days? Not a lot of people -- I mean, it's going to be, like, really good content, right? For you to sit down and spend that amount of time because there's so many other, more interactive, interesting ways to consume content, including right here, right? So, you know, and I can see you in real time with all your comments. And if you're watching this after the live, please, please make a comment because one, it helps the algorithm. So you're doing me a favor. And two, it is something I will see because I do look at all of these comments. Yeah, I piece my mind saying, you like how I say that Netflix is getting blockbusted. It totally is because, you know, blockbuster -- blockbuster seemed like a great company for a while until Netflix came along. Netflix seemed like a great company for a while until, duh, duh, duh. Skydance came along, so we wish them luck. Yeah. Lots of luck. All right. Big Tish to the rescue. My goodness. You know, I just finally got why they call her big tish. This guy inappropriate of me, I'm sorry. But I, you know, either Kathy Hoekle is really tiny or big tish is really big tish. Okay. I was like, that is, that is like some geography, shall we say, between the two of them. So Kathy Hoekle, taking the opportunity to come out swinging with big tish back and her up like a linebacker there next to her over this Cornell thing. And you know, the Cornell story, it's an awful story. I hate the story. It's just disgusting. Everybody's disgusting. But what is also disgusting is how a couple of very opportunistic politicians are taking every opportunity they can to make something of this, shall we say, for themselves, for themselves because, listen, I mean, even when Sonny Howston is even telling you the laws not on your side on this one and the way that consent laws work in the state of New York, because if you willingly ingest alcohol or worse in this case, the special case stuff, I mean, whoa, like it's kind of unfortunately, you know, or fortunately, because I'm actually a big believer in you being in charge of your own destiny. And you know, we can't have a whole bunch of victims out here. And if you ingest this stuff willingly, then they assume that you also are consenting willingly. And not a lot of law on the side of the alleged victim here, not to mention you've got a very different story being told from two years ago versus today. But, you know, whose big dish to lose a political opportunity, she's never met one that she can't turn down. I mean, look at this, this cross last night, Kathy Hocal named Lettisha James, New York's Attorney General Special Prosecutor to investigate the 2024 case, except there's one problem. The special investigator is supposed to be unbiased. And here's this little tweet, apparently, she put it on Facebook too, that she put out three days ago. And she wrote, "What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers to her and to all survivors. You're not alone. We stand with you." So she's clearly taking the victim's side, very, very clearly taking the victim's side. Well, that's kind of a problem if you are supposed to be impartial as the special prosecutor now assigned to this case, something that came up in the press conference today. Let's go to it. Attorney General, on your Facebook page three days ago, you wrote, "What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I'm holding her in my heart and in my prayers to her and to all survivors who are not alone, we stand with you." But why did you affirm her allegations as fact without doing your own fact-finding investigations as a governor? Why did you appoint an official who made a public statement affirming those allegations as fact as someone who's supposed to be doing an investigation? I will answer that. I have every confidence in our attorney general to do what she has always done. Look at the facts, examine the record, and draw the proper conclusions. That's exactly what's going to happen in this case. Attorney General, I will not comment on a Facebook post. Oh my gosh. Of course you won't. Of course you won't because your bias is as can possibly be. I mean, they see their political opportunity here. Don't kid yourself for two seconds. This is not about the girl. This is not about anything but they're sitting there thinking to themselves. Just like AOC was, because I don't know if you saw her. She's out making the rounds, like, completely, basically libeling these guys again. Let's just be really clear. They're not exactly a student of the week. But to come out and say the things that she has said, they see this as a political opportunity and they're thinking, "How do we get women out to vote in November?" Oh, we just tell them we are protecting them. Even though the law, as it stands in New York, is the law, and we've been through this, like, you know, you're the one that took the alcohol, you can't, unless you were actually slipped some stuff, if you were roofied, right, like the roofied law, they assume the law assumes that you are able to give consent. And then you go back and you look at all the text messages and we don't need to rehash that. And the interesting angle at this point is the politics of it all, because Latisha, big tish is coming out. I'm going to do justice, just like she was going to do justice to Donald Trump, even though the law was actually on his side and not hers. I'm wondering if she's going to check out the mortgage on the fraternity house while she's at it, right? Might as well, Tishie. Might as well. So they see this as big opportunity. They want to get the chance to get in there and have their say and look like they're looking out for women and maybe get some women to the polls, but she's going to be humiliated ultimately. They're all going to be humiliated, all of them, because now the players ought to counter sue. I mean, some of them I believe are already looking into counter suing alleging that they were the ones who suffered the sexual assault by this woman, this 20 year old Jane Doe, because she was apparently trying to continue things when one of them was thrown up all over himself. I mean, so, you know, we're going to hear a lot more in the coming days, but I think already what has come out is on the side of the law and not on the side of Latisha James and Kathy Hocal. However, like do not underestimate the political rawness, the political ambition of these two ladies. And so they're sizing it up and they're saying, how do we, how do we get women? Oh, well, we tell them they're the victim. They're the victim. And we're going to go out and we're going to protect them kind of like, you know, Mambami with his socialism, not it's all about the government protecting you. Apparently, none of us can stand on our own two feet. Mambami is getting slept down by a judge too. Remember, he was like all about tax in the rich. I ran for mayor. I said I was going to tax the rich. Well, today, he's taxing the rich or he's not. He's not because he's in big trouble right now. It turns out that his little escapade there with the, the, he had a tear tax, not so legal. Not so legal. No, he's hit a bit of a snag. Steve wins joined in on the fight. Steve win really strong capitalists there. If you've ever stayed at the win hotel, it's beautiful in Las Vegas. I interviewed Steve a number of years ago for a report I was doing while at Bloomberg television, a documentary on Vegas and he was just terrific. such a charismatic guy. And he's not having this. And most New Yorkers aren't having this. And Mamdami just got handed his, you know what to him by a judge who said, yeah, you can't actually do this. You can't actually come out and name all of these people and reveal their addresses and put the onus on them to have to prove to you that they don't owe the tax. You have to prove to them that they owe the tax. By the way, like all the residents are mad. He exposed 900,000 names and their addresses and people are p.o.d. listen. So how the administration published more than 900,000 names and addresses showed me that this is how the administration feels about homeowners in this great city, that this is something that we need to be ashamed of, a hit list of the haves and the have-nots, a scarlet letter. Of course, of course, because he doesn't want you to have anything. He wants to own it also. He can redistribute it. I do want to point out that that has never worked. Not even in Uganda where they tried it back in the 1960s. Your little socialism play is about to fall flat on its face. And I hope you get voted out of office very, very soon. Mr. Zahran, Mamdami, you can go back to Uganda and try this one. Here he is on a podcast talking about how great, great, great socialism really is, because we're going to have the government take care of you. I want to talk a little bit about socialism, right? Because it's a buzz word, right? Because socialism-- will you define socialism force? Because people say it a lot and don't know what it is. And sometimes those people are me. Well, I'm so happy to be with those people right now. Socialism to me, it means that you will have whatever you need to live a dignified life, and that it is the government's job to deliver on that. You see what I'm saying? You see the similarities here, whether it's Latisha James, Big Tish, and Kathy Holk will come to the rescue. A girl can't figure out her own mind. She doesn't know if she's had too much to drink or not too much to drink. She doesn't know if she wants a two sum, a three sum, a seven sum. I mean, wow, we got to swoop in and protect her because she can't consent. Even though she consented at the time, two years later, she's had some time to think about it, and now is changing her mind. So the government is there to help her out, to bail her out. And the government is also there to help and bail her out if she can't afford her rent, or she doesn't feel like working hard, or she can't afford her food. Give me a break, OK? You think that's dignity. You are taking away dignity. You are taking away our right to control ourselves. You are taking away our right to earn for ourselves and to spend and choose what we spend it on ourselves because you are one greedy bastard, OK? I'm sorry. I say occasionally I get my Irish a little bit up, but the socialism thing really ticks me off. And this guy really ticks me off because, hey, you know what? They tried it in Uganda, 1962. They had socialism in play for years, and years, and years, and years, until the '80s, when they finally figured out, whoa, it does not work, all right? It doesn't work because they run out of money. It's like what's happening in New York right now. Everybody who can leaves, look at Ken Griff, and he's like, I'm the HWL out of here, you know? And I'm building big time in Miami, in Florida, where my money is actually welcomed. And capitalism is welcomed. Memdame, I'm laughing at you. I mean, just make me sick, frankly, and I think you ought to go back to Uganda and give socialism a world there. They'll laugh you out of town. The problem is, we've got a bunch of naive hipsters in Brooklyn that don't actually know what's what. But you know what? They ought to go take a little trip over to France, because you look at the pictures coming to us from France today. Whoa! [VIDEO PLAYBACK] [INTERPOSING VOICES] What the fuck is going on? [INTERPOSING VOICES] [MUSIC PLAYING] OK, unbelievable. This is just-- it's awful. So you've got all these students that are rioting in the streets. A lot of it taking place in Marseille. I was just there. Awful, awful, place, gross town. I actually didn't last long in Marseille. It's very-- how do I say this in a nice way? It's very diverse. But it's had a very heavy, heavy immigration population. And that's very-- you can feel it, right, on the streets. You can really, really feel it. Anyway, they've got all these kids that have attacked these schools. You've got problems in Bordeaux. You've got problems there, of course, in Marseille. And it's just tragic. I mean, it's really, really tragic to see. This is really bubbling up in ways that shouldn't. It just shouldn't right now. But you think about what has happened. You think about all that has occurred here in France. I mean, this did not just start as a high school protest. The students who are upset, they said the classrooms were overcrowded. The teachers are missing, and the buildings are falling apart. And they think that they're owed something always. You know, the government owes us, the government owes us, the government owes us. And so now it has turned into this urban violence spread. And in the area of Marseille, where you see some of these fires, in some of these northern neighborhoods, again, very heavily migrant-- you've got hundreds of young people that surrounded a truck here, and they forced the crew out of it. They looted it. They burned it. The firefighter was hurt the same morning at three city buses that were burned, attacked, and another Marseille high school, Victor Hugo High School, where prosecutors say a head teacher was doused and petrol. I mean, it's just astonishing, disgusting, horrific stuff, OK? And the Molotov cocktails-- I mean, this has been going on for the first hour of the morning. And they say that throughout France, you've had something like 5,000 young people out taken to the streets, 1,000 of them there, and Marseille, 84 arrests. You've got a couple officers hurt. You've got the two principals hurt. You've got a journalist hurt. You've got a firefighter hurt. I'm sorry. 84 street fires. This is France. Like France has fallen, OK, this is awful. This is awful. And this is the socialist country that has had open borders effectively. They just welcome all in France, the country that Napoleon effectively now has surrendered. This is a country that built an empire, a country that projected all kinds of power in for a long time was actually one of the most formidable nations on Earth. Now, it wasn't it. Colonization, if you think about it, is not what actually made France weak. It was when France just couldn't stop apologizing for all its history that it became weak. When it decided that the people who arrived after the empire, basically did not have to become French. I mean, that's the problem. They didn't value integration. And so there's areas like in Marseille that are like no-go zones and nobody's integrating. And if you don't integrate and have a commonality of culture, I mean, at least in America, the expectation is you come here and you become American. We're talking to Zoody about that the other day. He said the problem with that is it doesn't work with Islam because of the way that religion is. You can't just look, we're freedom of religion's a big thing here, but his point is Islam is a political movement. And now when you think about Islam in France, and you look at the numbers, you don't need to sugarcoat this, OK? You've got 8 million immigrants in 2025. That's almost 12% of the population. It's up roughly from 7%. I think it was back in 1990. So that's a pretty significant increase. You've got almost half of them that were born in Africa. Another 8 million people were born in France to at least one immigrant parent. So when you think about these challenges, I think the integration or the lack of integration is a big part of this, OK? Like again, you can only be polite for so long. They've been too darn polite. And this politeness is costing them. And this is the reality of their politeness now. This is where it's getting them, which is a not a good place to be. Notice all the Palestinian movement flags incidentally in some of these pictures that are coming in. So I would just say, look, we love diversity for the right reasons. Marco Rubio said it well the other day, that one need a rain, not a flood. And you need to know who's coming here, and you need to be able to hand select effectively who's coming here. And they haven't done that in France. And so they've come to all this. If you look at the violence stats in a sexual violence, all of these homicide suspects, burglary suspects, all of the statistics that you look at actually show a large percentage of these foreign nationals that are responsible for it. So even if the foreign nationals only make up a certain part of the population, you actually have a far larger. We saw the same thing in Germany, right? And you wonder why the AFT is doing so well in Germany. It's the exact same reason, because the Germans are looking around saying, wait a second, we've got a problem, we're all out working for a living. And we're here paying for them. And they're filling up the prisons, and they're creating all this havoc. And they're hijacking. I'll use that word, OK? Hi, Jacking, our culture. And yet in France, they keep apologizing. Because if you look at the curriculum in the schools, for example, the curriculum actually teaches kids how bad their whole colonization thing is. And look, I get to be careful. I don't want to say that was great. But I also want to be careful to say, listen, you guys have to just get away from it. You have to embrace the future. You can't be sitting there saying, I'm going to apologize to death, literally to death, right? You're demanding all these apologies. Well, I'll do. is demanding an apology. They have serious demanding reparations. I mean, you know, Paris is kind of drawn the line on that one, but this is what they want. And then they're teaching the kids in school, you know, this colonization is our big, big sin. And we should be apologizing forever. And so I think this guilt for whatever reason, this tremendous guilt that Europe has about the success they've had, get over it. Okay, get over it. And we gotta get over any guilt that we may have. I'm sorry, the world moves on. It moves on. France was not ruined by its empire or colonization. Those years are over. It's being ruined by the refusal of the French to say, you know what, France is our country. And we have a civilization that we want to honor and that we want to preserve. And so when you look at the fires that are going on, I'll tell you that, that, ladies and gentlemen, is what capitulation looks like. And we cannot allow it here. Full stop. Mamdami, I'm sorry. You want socialism? I'm gonna tell you exactly where to go. Well, I'll be polite. Go back to Uganda. Thank you for being here. Make sure you subscribe if you haven't. Have a terrific weekend. Leave a comment. Do you think you should go back to Uganda? I think it's, it's pretty evident. You know where I stand. I'll see you back here live on Monday.
